It was really great to learn a new technique that I hardly knew anything about. A plus was the fact that I was working with Bilja and Neda who really know their polymer clay, so I had a chance to observe and learn a lot. And last but not least, I've enjoyed it immensely and I love the effect itself! I'll definitely use it often now that I know how to do it!Bilo mi je super da naučim novu tehniku o kojoj do tada nisam skoro ništa znala. Plus na sve to je bilo to što sam imala priliku da radim sa Biljom i Nedom koje se razumeju u polimersku glinu, tako da sam mogla da vidim i naučim štošta. I za kraj, baš sam uživala, a ovaj efekat mi se jako sviđa! Definitivno ću ga često koristiti sada kad znam kako se radi!

Last weekend for me was one hectically creative one. It all started with
a small family decoupage workshop with my sister and my aunt on Friday
evening.

Decoupage guru in our family is definitely my aunt Marina. Her specialty is napkin decoupage on anything form cardboard boxes to glass vases and textile kitchen cloths. I've mentioned her and Mashtarija in some of my previous posts.

The results of our work were great and they made me think how differences in personalities are mirrored in the way they perceive certain things, express their creativity and ultimately in the products of their creative work. Another thing I was very conscious during our work is how the starting idea changes and evolves in the process of creating something, and how, until the very finish, you can't really tell what the final outcome will look like.
My sister's box is in the first picture, followed by Marina's (I think that's obvious) and mine.Rezultati rada su bili odlični i dali su mi priliku da porazmislim o tome kako se razlike u ličnostima ogledaju u načinu kako posmatramo stvari, kako izražavamo svoju kreativnost i, na kraju krajeva, u krajnjem rezultatu našeg kreativnog rada. Još jedna stvar koje sam bila veoma svesna jeste kako se početne ideje menjaju i evoluiraju u toku rada, i kako do samog kraja nije moguće zapravo znati kako će ono štonapravimo izgledati.Na prvoj slici je kutijica koju je napravila Ivana, zatim Marina (mislim da je to očigledno), i na kraju moja.

All in all, that was one fantastic creative evening for all of us, which we've ended determined to make it a more regular occasion.Sve u svemu, veče nam je bilo fenomenalno, tako da smo odlučile da moramo češće da organizujemo ovakva druženja.
